The iPhone XR’s new features: A summary

Hitting the smartphone market at the end of 2018, the iPhone XR falls in line with the companys dive into a new form factor and redesign, as seen with the iPhone X. It was released with the more premium sister models of the XS and XS Max, and is classed as the happy medium with the latest features at a significantly more affordable price.

With a 6.1-inch LCD display, the iPhone XR is the taller version of the XS, with a screen almost meeting the edge of the frame. It therefore sits in the middle in terms of overall size of the XS and XS Max models. It does mean that it doesn’t have the more desirable OLED display, but the difference is hard to see in reality. Another major change is a new range of colour options to pick from: black, white, red, yellow, coral and blue.

The glass back transitions into its aluminium frame that matches this back, meaning it sits comfortably in the hand in regards to grip. Here, Apple decided to squeeze in the most important parts of the XS and XS Max into a more affordable body, resulting in a more affordable model. So, its slightly thicker, taller and wider than the XS. All three models have stronger glass than previously, so this is a big plus if you’re prone to allowing your phone to meet the street.

While it has the same Bionic A12 chip as the XS and XS Max, it does have a smaller amount internal RAM: 3GB vs. 4GB of the other models. This means running multiple applications at once may result in slower performance, but this is heavily dependent on if you actually flicker between apps in general. The upside of this model is the better battery, meaning less time on charge and plugged into a wall.

The XR packs in a single-lens, 12-megapixel rear camera, with the flash now sitting below rather than beside. That’s half the camera of the XS technically (same megapixels but not the 2x telephoto lens). You’ll only notice this when zooming into photos. Its front facing camera has a 7-megapixel wide angle lens, twice as fast as before, and matching identically to the XS.

Finally, Its IP67 rated water resistance means it can withstand water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Not quite as resistant as its siblings, but strong nonetheless. A great phone that’s several £hundred cheaper than its sisters, but packing in the most important aspects.
